Learn More about Veritas Prep

Veritas Prep is the fastest growing GMAT prep company in the world. There are several things that separate Veritas from other GMAT prep companies, but the most notable is the quantity of prep that students get. Veritas offers more classroom hours, the most practice GMAT tests, and free MBA admissions workshops. Students who use the Veritas Prep System earn the highest average GMAT score increases in the industry.

To learn more about how Veritas Prep works, I spoke with the company's co-founder Chad Troutwine. Here's what he had to say about the Veritas Prep System:

Can you provide us with an overview of the Veritas Prep System?
The Veritas Prep System combines curricular excellence, instructor preeminence, and authentic practice problems with the largest array of course options. We engineered our program at Yale University with a simple philosophy in mind: if price was no object, what would the ideal GMAT preparation program look like? First, we completely deconstructed the test and designed the model curriculum. Because the ideal approach is to start at an elementary level and accelerate into advanced lessons, Veritas Prep courses are longer than those of our competitors, a more expensive proposition. Next, we recruited the best faculty to teach our classes. Since we have the highest standards and pay the most, we attract the best and brightest GMAT instructors. Third, we offer fifteen computer-adaptive practice tests, the most in the industry. Our competitors only offer five or six apiece. Finally, we also offer free MBA workshops for our students. Shockingly, our course tuition is only around $100 more than everyone else.

Veritas Prep also offers Elite Packages. What are Elite Packages and how do they work?
Elite Packages combine GMAT preparation with MBA admissions consulting at a discounted price. Veritas Prep is uniquely positioned to offer a full-service approach to prospective MBA candidates. We are the definitive GMAT authority, and we provide MBA admissions consulting expertise. Our team of more than one hundred consultants includes former MBA admissions officers from Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Yale, and Columbia. Elite Package clients simultaneously enroll for GMAT classes and MBA admissions consulting. Our comprehensive approach allows our clients to take full advantage of the industry’s top professionals at each step in the MBA admissions process, while saving money along the way.

Who teaches your GMAT courses?
Veritas Prep has trained the most talented and effective faculty of GMAT instructors ever assembled. All Veritas Prep GMAT instructors have previous teaching experience and earned a score in the 99th percentile on actual GMAT examination. Because our GMAT instructors earn more than the instructors of any other test prep company, we cherry pick the very best. It is not enough to do well on the GMAT; we select people who are experts at helping others duplicate their success. Our instructors attend Veritas Prep 101, the industry’s most comprehensive training program. As an example, I taught for Kaplan in college and for another top test prep company before co-founding Veritas Prep. In all, I have devoted 21 years, more than half of my life, to teaching high stakes graduate exams. I have earned several public speaking and teaching accolades and earned prefect or near perfect scores on the LSAT, GMAT, and other college entrance exams. Best of all, I love to teach. We know that instructor quality is the cornerstone of any successful test prep experience.

Does Veritas Prep offer a money-back guarantee?
Veritas Prep offers the best guarantee in the industry. If a Veritas Prep client doesn’t improve his GMAT score, we will refund his entire tuition or he can repeat the entire course free of charge. Veritas Prep also offers something even more unique. Students may retake one Veritas Prep course of equal or lesser value, for any reason, free of charge. Even if someone scores a 710, but feels that with a little more preparation she could have earned a 760, she can retake the course. Several companies offer “score guarantees” that require their students to jump through several hoops: working through every homework problem assigned, attending every class, and completing every practice test. If you miss one hoop, you forfeit your guarantee. Some companies offer guarantees that only apply to students who do not score above a 600, while others will charge you up to $800 to retake their course. We can offer such a comprehensive guarantee because we offer such an effective program. Over the years, lots of students have enjoyed their free retake, but only one client in every thousand has needed the tuition refund after going through Veritas Prep.

Can students try Veritas Prep for free?
Veritas Prep offers free seminars and trial classes. Unlike some other companies, we do not allow prospective students to sit in on the first class for free. Our experience has proven that people sitting in for free will ask questions beyond the scope of the subject matter, sacrificing valuable class time. We also refuse to turn our classes into marketing sessions. It simply is not fair to the students who have already enrolled.

Why should students choose Veritas Prep over another GMAT prep course?
Veritas Prep offers the most comprehensive courses, the most exacting instructor standards, the most practice tests, the most comprehensive lesson booklets, and free MBA admissions workshops. Veritas Prep students can choose from the most classroom options available, including weekday evenings and weekends in dozens of global cities, intensive weeklong programs, prerecorded lessons, and live online courses. We also offer self-study, virtual coaching, and one-on-one tutoring. Not surprisingly, Veritas Prep students earn the highest average GMAT score increases in the industry. That’s why top corporate employers, premier MBA programs, and well-informed students choose Veritas Prep.
